While NetBSD and FreeBSD share an ancestry (and
still borrow from one another), at the admin level they
are quite different.  It's nearly as difficult a transition as

like bolt-action rifles: simple and effective.  portage is
like SDI: it was really never going to work, but it scared
the crap out of NPR and the Soviets.
